Some preliminary analyses of genetic data

Sierras

Sibship assignments and spatial extent of B. vosnesenskii and B. bifarius.

Vosnesenskii – First run of assignments, adjustments needed following J. Wang’s advice

Bifarius – First run


McLaughlin B. vosnesenskii

Between-year PCA – possible effect of fire? Normal variation between years? Or just sequence differences across plates?

Much to be done!

  • Further explorations
  • Finalize COLONY assignments
  • Estimates of foraging, dispersal, colony abundance, etc
    • How those things are modified by floral abundance, seasonality, fire, etc.
  • Population genetics analyses (Fst, admixture, etc.) within and across McLaughlin, Sierras, and some Monterey samples.
